A Goddess Kali crown that was given to a renowned temple in Bangladesh in 2021 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been stolen.
The silver, gold-plated crown was stolen from the Jeshoreshwari temple in Shyamnagar, Satkhira, on Thursday afternoon, shortly after the temple priest left following the day’s worship.
It was later found missing from the deity’s head by the cleaning staff. During his visit to Bangladesh in March 2021, Prime Minister Modi gave the crown to the Jeshoreshwari Temple.
India conveyed its concern over the theft and urged Bangladesh to look into the situation and recover the missing crown.
“We express concern on the incident and urge the Government of Bangladesh to investigate the theft, recover the crown and take action against the perpetrators,” the Indian High Commission in Dhaka said in a statement.
